To freeze, slice the meatloaf and place in zip lock bags for ease of defrosting. The slices will last up to 3 months in the freezer. To defrost place the slices in the refrigerator until thawed through. Reheat gently on either the stove in skillet or an oven for 5-10 minutes until warm throughout.

If the meatloaf looks too oily when cooked, damp the excess oil with a kitchen towel. Too much fat can cause digestive issues, and lead to pancreatitis.
